Timo Sirainen released a new version of the Dovecot IMAP and POP3 server. It’s mainly meant as a bug fix release that where discoverd by a multitude of users which upgraded to 1.2.0. I’ve updated all my test servers without any significant issues. Here is a list of issues fixed:

GSSAPI: Changed logging levels and improved the messages. Changed the way cross-realm authentication handling is done, hopefully it’s working now for everyone.

imap/pop3 logins now fail if home directory path is relative. v1.2.0 deliver was already failing with these and they could have caused problems even with v1.1.

IMAP: Custom authentication failure messages are now prefixed with [ALERT] to get more clients to actually show them.
